Catholic Charities Diocese of Gary is so proud of our very own Roy Cain, who recently traveled to Mexico City on a mission trip to serve those experiencing poverty and homelessness.

Roy's compassion and commitment to serving others reflect the heart of Catholic Charities and our shared calling to make Christ's love visible through our actions. We are grateful for his generous spirit and the example he sets, both here in Northwest Indiana and beyond. ❤️

CALLED TO SERVE
Missionaries return with the love, lessons, and grace received in Mexico

BY ERIN CISZCZON
Northwest Indiana Catholic

MERRILLVILLE – You do not have to travel to another country to become a missionary; you simply have to open your heart to the person God places before you. That is the message many missionaries from the Diocese of Gary share upon returning from a mission trip to Mexico City, Oct. 8-13.

“I believe that as Catholics, we are called not simply to talk about the love of Christ, but to make that love visible through our actions, our presence, and our willingness to encounter others,” said Claudia Sadowski, coordinator of intercultural ministry.

Sadowski said the annual mission trip to Mexico City is not about going somewhere to "help the poor," as though they have everything to give and nothing to receive. It is quite the opposite. She shared that it is about recognizing the dignity of every human being, especially those often overlooked, forgotten or pushed to the margins of society.

For the past three years, through Hope of the Poor, members and friends of the Diocese of Gary have had the opportunity to encounter Christ in their brothers and sisters experiencing poverty, homelessness and other difficult circumstances. Sadowski said that sometimes the greatest gift individuals can offer “is not something material, but our time, our attention, a genuine smile, a conversation, or simply the reassurance that someone sees them, values them, and loves them.”

Sadowski added that she believes that missionary discipleship knows no geographical boundaries. Whether missionaries serve someone on the streets of Mexico City or accompany a family in Northwest Indiana, she noted the calling is the same: to love as Christ loves.
